Mademoiselle Miel,
Bees Live Here

Bees Live Here is a project developed by Susan Brown–the artist, beekeeper, and chef/entrepreneur behind Mademoiselle Miel, a Saint Paul-based maker of exquisite, locally-sourced chocolate and honey confections, and commissioned by Public Art Saint Paul for Northern Spark 2017. Come get an insider’s view into one of Susan’s hives that resides on top of Union Depot. A video of the inside of the hive will be projected on the Depot’s facade and viewers can listen in with headphones provided. Every hour on the hour, hear speakers at Public Art Saint Paul’s “Utopian Podium” voice their human support and recite poems for bees. Participants can also proclaim their own commitment to bees in exchange for a honey stick!
